ad blocking
Stops promotional content
Ad blocking is the use of software to prevent advertisements from displaying on websites, apps, or streaming services.
Ad blockers filter out banners, pop-ups, and video ads, speeding up page loads and reducing visual clutter: I installed an ad blocker because the pop-ups were unbearable.
Publishers often view ad blocking as a threat to revenue, prompting some sites to detect blockers and restrict access until users disable them.
